In this episode we sit down with Benjamin Zhai, Chief Executive Officer of Robo.ai Inc, to explore one of the most forward thinking visions in AI and robotics. Robo.ai is building an intelligent ecosystem that connects autonomous mobility, smart devices and advanced AI services into one seamless network. Their mission is to accelerate the future of transportation, automation and global infrastructure through a unified platform that brings machines and intelligence closer together. Benjamin breaks down how Robo.ai is approaching the next wave of AI powered mobility from vehicles and robotics to large scale smart city systems. We also discuss what this means for builders, enterprises and anyone watching the rapid evolution of the machine economy. If you want a clear look into how AI and robotics are reshaping the world this conversation is a must watch. Check out Robo.ai: https://www.roboai.io/ Powered by Firstory Hosting

In today’s episode, we dive into ROVR Network — the project building the decentralized data backbone for the AI economy. ROVR is mapping the real world with self-developed LiDAR and RTK hardware, turning everyday movement into precise, structured 3D data. This is the type of high-quality spatial data that powers the next wave of AI, robotics, autonomous vehicles, AR/VR, and more. What makes ROVR different? A global contributor community. Every drive expands a living, constantly updating world model — where data flows transparently and value is shared back with contributors. In this episode we discuss: 🔹 How ROVR is “mapping the real world for the AI age” 🔹 Why precise real-world data is critical for AI 🔹 The future of robotics, autonomy, and spatial computing 🔹 How contributors can participate in building the network 🔹 Why decentralized data infrastructure matters more than ever If you're curious about the intersection of AI, DePIN, robotics, and real-world data, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

🌦️ In this episode, we sit down with Manolis Nikiforakis, CEO of WeatherXM, to break down their brand-new Targeted Rollouts.  A funding model that deploys weather stations exactly where high-value data is needed most. From farms to flood zones to fast-growing energy grids, this approach focuses on real demand and real impact. We also talked about the Beaver NFTs, where each NFT represents ¼ of the supporter share linked to a specific station, and holding 4/4 gives you the full supporter share, without needing to host any hardware yourself. A must-watch for anyone following the future of decentralized weather and community-driven infrastructure. 🚀 Watch the full video: https://youtu.be/owAjT9d8qEk Check out WeatherXM: https://depinhub.io/projects/weatherxm Mint the NFT: https://rollouts.weatherxm.com/ Powered by Firstory Hosting

Grant Jordan, CEO of SkySafe and MIT alumnus, discusses FliteGrid, a revolutionary community-powered drone tracking network. He reveals how ordinary people can contribute sensors to create a shared, real-time drone data platform. Grant emphasizes the importance of air-space awareness and the potential for decentralized networks in scaling drone intelligence. He shares insights on Remote ID accountability, the benefits for communities, and the exciting revenue-sharing model behind FliteGrid. Additionally, he highlights the future of drone operations and the urgency of building infrastructure for aerial monitoring.

Mark Rydon, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Aethir, is back on the podcast with a massive update! 🔥 We dive deep into how Aethir is revolutionizing the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) model, turning it into a productive engine for its decentralized GPU cloud infrastructure (DePIN). Mark breaks down the self-sustaining revenue loop, what this means for providing enterprise-grade compute power for AI workloads, and Aethir's strategy for achieving legitimacy by bridging the gap between digital assets and traditional finance.
